Eine neue Studie aus Chicago ergab, dass jeder Anstieg der Räumungsrate um 1 % in einem Zählbezirk mit 2,66 weiteren Schießereien verbunden war. Die Studie zeigte auch, dass Räumungen die „kollektive Wirksamkeit“ eines Viertels oder den gemeinsamen Glauben der Bewohner an ihre Fähigkeit, für das Gemeinwohl zusammenzuarbeiten, beeinträchtigen.

I think it’s sensible to create a trial where the state basically avoids evictions in a randomized set of areas by either subsidizing the rent or putting them on some sort of minimal payment plan to rent the unit.
It’s really unclear whether there’s causation here but that would be the thing that could determine it.
Are illegal immigrants, whether working in the hidden economy or kept in hostels and the like by the authorities while awaiting deportation, more susceptible to eviction than others in similar neighborhoods? More shootings?
So many of societies problems are simply rooted in financial circumstances. A lot of mental health too. You think you are going to be mentally healthy being homeless without money for food? You think we can keep crime rates low when those instances increase?
I spent about a year working in the social field and in Chicago actually, and it was painful. So much of it just came down to money and there was never nearly enough. It was heart breaking. There were some success stories but many more failures. I volunteered with a non-profit for a few weeks that worked with housing/educating homeless youth. It is a great place doing great work, but in a city where easily 100,000+ youths need their help, their facility only had space for like 17 people at a time and each person tended to stay 3-12 months.
Telling then why private equity, the ultra wealthy, and this administration want to prevent people from owning homes.
Did scientists even bother to check the feelings of landlords?
Amazing that stability begets stability! Who’d have thought?
It’s almost like removing a human’s basic needs forces them to engage in poor behaviors to ensure their own safety, crazy
Correlation not equal to causation.
For the record, the University of Chicago is a large part of the problem in Chicago e.g. Milton Friedman has polluted generations with his libertarian bs
Or and hear me out here. People who own horses tend to live longer than people who don’t own horses…
Neighborhoods where people don’t pay their rent tend to be more violent than neighborhoods where people do pay their rent.
